WWII The 5th Battalion London Rifle Brigade Silver Sweetheart Brooch.

A scarce original Second World War period British made 'London Rifle Brigade silver sweetheart brooch', the reverse impressed "Sterling". Very good condition, retaining original pin fittings.
Height 28mm.

ALL BROOCHES ARE SUPPLIED WITH A BRAND NEW BLACK PLUSH LINED PRESENTATION BOX.

A scarce First World War period '5th Battalion London Rifle Brigade sweetheart brooch', gilded brass example bearing the 'Royal Arms' within a title circlet with 'South Africa 1900-02' honour, the reverse with evidence of having had a pin shank and hook, but for some unseemly reason these having been removed many years ago, otherwise I would have classed this in very good condition.
Height 31mm.

This is the first part of a large collection of First World War period, rare and wonderful sweetheart brooches, all in superb condition but with their pin fittings removed. These came attached on what could possibly be classed as a retailer's sample display board.
